    rf-.v 1861.] Measles in the Military Cannes. 241 of the external manipulation, we may safely infer, that a presen- tation of the face, which would terminate with the chin under the pubes, may be prevented by similar treatment, when the brow presents, and the occiput can be fety above the brim on the same side with an oblique uterus. Dr. Alfeed C. Post then read the report of the Committee on Military Surgery, which had been previously presented to the Surgical Section of the Academy, which was adopted, and referred to the Council for publication. The meeting was then adjourned. Stated Meeting, Sept. 18, 1861. Dr. James Anderson, President, in the Chair. (Reported by George F. Shradt, It.D.j) De. H. S. Hewitt was elected a member of the Academy. De. John Watson remarked that statements had appeared repeatedly in the public papers to the effect that measles prevailed to an alarming extent in the several military camps. He had seen no scientific confirmation of the fact, and had taken the,opportu- nity of asking the members concerning it. It seemed to-him that if such reports were true, the disease should also attack the community generally ; this, however, as far as he was aware, was not the case. De. Vandervooet stated that several genuine cases of measles occurring in the First Maine Regiment had been admitted into the N. Y. Hospital. De. Gaednek supposed that measles was more prevalent in regiments from the rural districts, for the reason that the men were not as much exposed to the contagion during early life as those in large cities. In small villages, when measles occurred, the cases were kept isolated and the progress of the disease was stayed, while under the same circumstances, in a large city, it became an epidemic, as was the case last year. De. Watson suggested that the Corresponding Secretary of the Sanitary Commission be asked to furnish to the Academy reliable statements in relation to the actual character of the dis- ease which was so prevailing in the several camps. After a discussion, entered into by Drs. Watson, Richards, Post, and Gardner, it was finally agreed that a committee of three should be appointed to correspond with the several members of the Academy, now in camp, in relation to the subject. The com- mittee consists of Drs. John Watson, A. C. Post, and A. K. Gardner.
